(FW8's help is not very helpful: searching for "resize" or
"modify" doesn't get
you anywhere...) Anyway, I want to have FW8 make some thumbs
for me, from
different images sizes, and both in landscape and in portait
format. Can this
be done in a simple batch process or do I first have to
select the different
formats manually? Can I do them all at the same time using a
percentage
scaling?
That would be okay, although I'd prefer to have all landscape
and all portrait
thumbs have the same size. Help is welcome.

It depends. In the batch dialog:
- If you want all the images to have one fixed dimension
(either height
or width), enter that dimension, and blank the other.
- I hadn't noticed this option before, but one of the choices
(FW MX; I
assume it survived into later versions) is 'Scale to fit
area'.
